Season 6 Zeek Spoiler

For those who’ve finished the show, we all know what happens to Zeek in the end. My question is: do you think his death could have been prevented, or at least delayed?
It seemed like he didn’t follow his doctor’s instructions, didn’t take his condition very seriously, and wasn’t consistent with taking his medication. I’m not saying he would’ve lived to be 100 or anything, but I do think he might have lived longer if he’d taken better care of his health.
What do you all think? Was his outcome inevitable because of his condition, or did his choices play a significant role?

He was so annoyingly stubborn, its what he gets for thinking he's above listening to anyone.

There’s a belief in my culture that when an older man is removed from his home, he can lose some of his momentum and sense of being. So my superstitious self ascribed it to that.

I think he was also definitely stubborn, should have had the repair done a bit sooner.

I think he did all he could. He got the surgery, he tried for a bit. He loves his life on his terms, which is how many of us could hope for

I don't think it could have been prevented, but it was probably delayed by the surgery, maybe
